Chapter Three

James Knight rolled over with a start. He hadn’t realized he had dozed off but when he woke up he was not inside of the house or near it. He was sore everywhere and when he felt around, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dim light, he could feel train tracks below him. Train tracks. The thought of a speeding train rolling through to smash into him made him roll off to the side and he ended up in the rubble and trash that had collected on the side of the tunnel.

He was in the subway underground, and he knew it immediately when he saw that the dim light came from above his head inside of a depression in the wall. He looked around frantically, hoping to see Alysia, but all he could make out were the bodies of Jaime and Tracy.

He struggled to his feet and walked over to Tracy. She had blood on her face and she was lying in an awkward position on the tracks. James knelt down and lifted her into his arms. She felt lighter than he remembered and he walked her over to a set of stairs where he set her down and worked at waking her up.

“Trace,” he said after nudging her for a time. She woke up with a start and flashed him a wicked glance.

“WHAT?” she yelled at him, upset that he had brought her out of whatever dream it was that she was having at the time.

“Wake up, baby, we’re not at home anymore,” he said to her lovingly and brushed some of the dirt out of her hair as she looked around groggily.

“I’m sorry I yelled,” she said. “It was, it was that thing. Did you see it, Jimmy?”

“Yeah, it was in all red and had a sword. All I remember is that it came at me and the next thing I know, I’m dreaming about happier times.”

“We should wake up Jaime,” she said when she noticed that he was still slumped against the wall near the tracks, asleep. “Where’s CeeCee? Did she get away from that thing, or is she here somewhere?”

“CeeCee ain’t here, Trace, but I don’t think she’s at the house, either. They called her name, remember? And she kept telling us over and over that they want her. I think they have her kidnapped somewhere. We’ll need to get out of here to find her.”

Tracey nodded and got up, wiping her eyes. She walked over to Jaime’s body and shook him hard to bring him around. Jaime woke up and went through the same motions the other two had, cursing loudly several times and pacing the tunnel, looking for an escape.

“Why would they put us here?” he asked after exhausting his search and letting his temper cool down a bit.

“They put us out of the way so that we can’t find Alysia,” James said. “This was intentional, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re half a state away from where they’ve taken her.
